He pulled data from 43.66M unique pages. We found only 5.21M (~11.9%) had at least one Core Web Vitals metric, and 93% of those (or ~4.85M total) had all three metrics.<\/p>\n<p>We also noted all of the pages had LCP (99.79%) and CLS (99.91%) metrics. The metric, FID, was missing the most and only available on 93.08% of pages that had any Core Web Vitals metrics.<\/p>\n<p>Fewer&nbsp;pages than overall origins&nbsp;(domains) are passing Core Web Vitals (only 21.2% of pages passing). I\u2019m not sure how to account for this fully. I suspect it may be due to caching where secondary page loads tend to be faster.<\/p>\n<p>For page-level data, LCP is similar to the origin data. FID is better and something that doesn\u2019t seem to be a concern for most pages. CLS is worse in the page-level data than the origin data.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/10-page-level-cwv.png\" alt=\"Graph showing breakdown of CWV, LCP, FID, and CLS at the page level\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1517\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakdown of page-level Core Web Vitals, including LCP, FID, and&nbsp;CLS.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>I wanted to study the impact of Core Web Vitals on rankings. But due to the timing of the rollout and other updates that happened at the same time, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a good method that is conclusive. There are other studies that show a correlation between speed improvements and rankings. But saying this isn\u2019t that different from saying sites that are more likely to work on their SEO also rank better than those that don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to record Core Web Vitals data for your site while you make improvements, you can enable the option in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/site-audit\">Site Audit<\/a>&nbsp;settings.
